It is with regret that we have to record the deaths of Messrs. E.
Capplemen, W. Farmer, Roberts and H. E. Hendy.
The Library. The library report" needs little comment except that owing to its popularity, I would suggest to the incoming committee that they give a large grant, so that a larger num ber of new books could be pur- chased and more spent on the up- keep of the books already provided. The Literary Council have again had bard work to obtain papers with which to entertain members. and I again appeal for new technical members and assistance in provid ing papers,
the in a feature of stitute which should not be lost. We have to thank Messes, fiddh- ton Smith and Geo. Buchanan far their interesting papers and also t. the Hongkong Electric Co. for dlowing us to visit their North Point Station.
Regarding billiards, in view of the report, perhaps I had better re- main quiet, except to mention that the tables are in good condition and we are promised several prizea for the coming season.
The house has been maintained In good condition, and our thanks are due to Mrs. G. Harman, for her help in arranging the Indles' room, etc. As you no doubt remember, 18 months ago the question of giv ing up a portion of these premises to effect economy was mooted, and I am pleased to be able to inform you that circumstances have im- proved somewhat, so that your Com- mittec have entered into a two years lease for the whole premises, nt a much more favourable rent.
